I agree, BUT...
Just telling someone that he or she ought to accept God's Word as truth won't work if the individual is not open to the possibility.
First, you must open them up to the possibility. After all, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. [Only God can do that.]
Thanks for linking the Hillsdale Academy. Am going to forward it to my daughter in case she doesn’t already have it.
My primary responsibility is for those in my house. I’m doing what I can.
As for others, they have to make the choice themselves.
Deu 4:29
But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
You are welcome. It is the only place where I have seen a comprehensive K-12 list of solid educational materials with a Western Civilization, Christian Nation, and Greatness of America focus.
Just figured that out did you?
What worked for so many decades in other governments and for various reasons is working here. Stalin made sure no one knew the facts about WWII and pretty much succeeded. Also, the official record of the Nuremberg trials is yet to be published in Germany.
American Socialists have been very busy here and in the same effort. Is it any wonder young people have no factual frame of reference for our history and democratic processes. The internet is the equalizer.. it should be promoted vigorously.
The theme of our homeschool is
“Impervious to Nonsense”
We’re going to make sure that our kids are bulletproofed against BS by being able to effectively argue through the weak points of propaganda.
When public school is finished with them, young people now don’t know what propaganda is and think of the factual record as just incidental.
Where'd you come up with that?
In my estimation, the World events as reported on the internet and in circles will trump the ‘sleeper’ classes the students are subjected to.
Nonetheless, the omissions and misrepresentations in the textbooks need to be addressed. I think it’s fair, realistic, and wise for every parent to advise their children that portions of what they are taught in school may be inaccurate, or at least bias.
he was one of my great-great-great.....grandfathers...and if not for him, the world would have been overtaken by the muzzies hundreds of years ago...
but I didn't just graduate...I'm an old granny
I couldn’t agree more. The sad thing is there are way too many parents who don’t care and use public schools as day care centers for their kids.
Where’ve y'all been for the past 40 years?
I and friends of mine have been fighting the subversion of our text books and schools and kid's minds for decades. The Socialists now OWN our schools.
the Sheeple have been to busy too listen.
My dear friend, Charlotte, has never given up the fight. She perseveres, decade after decade. She sounded the clarion call across the land long ago. She still is.
NO excuse for people not being totally aware.
Why does the future have to be such a scary thing? Answer: Because nobody wants to fight those liberals who are masters of misinformation.
It's also high on the "can't be bothered with" list of too many American parents.
Public "education" is a welfare program.
I hope you're teaching them how to fight, too! A lot of liberals end their arguments with their hands.
What do you expect when Bill Ayers is considered a prominent “education expert”? Unfortunately, we’ve relinquished the education of our young to leftists.
Good point and there’s far too many like him in our colleges and universities. They’re next to impossible to get rid of, Ward Churchill is about the only exception that comes to mind.
Check your children’s textbooks, see if they have the Saudi versions of history, most school textbooks do not have the Saudi influenced versions I would guess, check them.
Having been interested in politics and history since I was around 10 years old, when I reached high school in the early 1960s it was already far left with the teachers and textbooks.
I challenged the teachers and made their hr. each day miserable. Was down graded but could care less.
Thinking parents can monitor what their children are learning in public school is the problem.
A large per cent of parents are the second and third generation of the heavy left wing teaching.
Then you also have parents who could care less.
